RAILWAY MATTERS.
BOSTON a MAINE

BOSTON ~ MAINE.
The Boston & Maine has made its season
ticket rates to points east of Dover, n. H.,
uniformly $50 per quarter From Portland
and North Conway this is reduction from
$6S and from other points in proportion.
Some two years ago the management COM
menced the practice of charging employees
living at different points along their line half
rates for travelling to ana from their work.
This practice has now been abolished, and
all employees have been placed upon the free
list.
BOSTON & LOWELL.
The following circular was issued by the
Boston & Lowell Thursday:
BOSTON, March 81, 1887
The following appointments are made taking
eject THIS day: II. n. Turner, General Traffic
Manager; Geo. w. Storer, General Passenger
Agent; d. G. Prescott, General Freight Agent.
G. S. MELLEN, General Superintendent
The Office of General Traffic Manager is a
new one, with Mr.. Turner promoted to ill it
from his former position as General Freight
Agent. Mr.. Storer has occupied the position
OF Assistant General Passenger Agent, and
takes the place formerly occupied by Lucien
Tuttle, now with the Canadian Pacific. Mr..
Prescott, who succeeds Mr.. Turner, is adj
vanced from the position of Assistant Gen
eral Freight Agent
In regard to the reported lease of the Bos-
ton d Lowell by the Boston e. Maine, Gen.
ersl Manager Payson Tucker says it would
have no effect whatever ON the Maine Gen.
trail and need not give the business men of
Maine the slightest concern. Receiver An
derson says the lease may and may not make
much difference with the Portland & Ogdens-
burg I'm the first place." he says, ''fhings
can't be much worse than they are now. We
shan't have to make ever harder trade
with the Boston & Maine than we have been
forced to make with the Boston & Lowell.
We made our first deal with the managers of
the old Eastern road, and we have always
found the managers of the Boston & Maine
willing to act fair. A worse deal than we
have been obliged to make with the Boston
& Lowell would amount to an absolute pro
hibition of traffic"

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off Of revenue stamps from
Propriety Medicines, no doubt has bcne-
fitted the consumers, as we'll as relieving
the burden of home manufactures.
Especially is this the case with GREEN'S
.iugRst FlOrrs aud Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving onc-ifth more
medicine in the - cent size.
Tie .IuyUyt Fiorcrs for Dyspepsia and
and Liver Complaint. and the German
Syrup for Coughs and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advantage
of increased SIZE of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and aiilict-
ed, in every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles for ~ cents
remain the same size.

Two Views of the Tariff.
